I'd put coping atop the wall.

Yes, is that solid or a cavity wall. Are there any high points the water could be getting in, down and under the roofing?

Not trying to spend your money but there are companies that do it. This one picked at random (Bolton): https://roofinvestigations.co.uk/dye-testing/

Red wine...stains...got me thinking... How about UV dye? Make the solution up and pour over ONE area. Let it soak through and get a UV light on where those track marks are. For example: https://uk.trotec.com/products-services/measuring-devices/leak-detection/tracer-dyes/luminate/

Don't do this, WAIT for someone more knowledgeable to comment... That inside concrete reveal under the roof lights, could you paint that with black concrete paint so you can see if water runs down it. Thinking bare concrete will soak anything up?

Love it. Hope you painted the ends of the cut Unistrut! -

Didn't @NSS say the electrochromic glass has limitations at night? Something about having to fit curtains just to prevent the neighbours seeing his crown jewels? ?

After one team building day out on some huge Derbyshire estate involving planks, barrels and imaginary shark infested waters to cross, I hung behind our group and hid a bunch of stuff to screw the next, competing team. The organisers went apeshit looking for the culprit. Kobaayashi Maru mate!

Nothing to do with vodka being expensive there then? -

Wouldn't you be better retaining the 3P in case you ever aspire to an EV that fast charges? -

One might suggest that uni fees are just a revenue stream for the Government eager to milk those of the electorate who can pay.

That's my ideal for my place, do a new roof and EWI under cover. A few major refurbs / fire damaged places have been covered like this near me.- 4 comments

I've witnessed hours of water testing on roofs / facades with no leaks. Then it rains for real and it pisses in! That's the real test imo.

New build: Solid walls vs cavity walls
Onoff replied to Sjk's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
I've always wondered if you could "pour as you go" in a cavity wall with this stuff and not push the walls out? Wish the dicks at Ford hadn't filled the lower rear comers of my Capris with it though!- 30 replies

As above then redo the perimeter floor/wall line with Mapei cement grey. Reckon I can get it at 5mm bead this time! After that get the basin in. I need to mess around with pipework in the loft to get mains cold to the basin. That's a worry as a single mixer tap with traditional gravity fed hot. Wondering as to an inline prv on the mains cold to the basin? Thereafter titivating with skirting, new panelled door, inset loo roll holder, blind and so on. It'll be useable but COLD. Need to think how I feed the towel rail and UFH loop.

P17 says you can fit a 110mm vent to the unit assuming yours is a gravity outlet model? If so do that and send him a copy of this manual quoting what they say on p17. If so, sorted! Manual_Vortex_Installation_v7.pdf
